Strain Evolution and Instability of an Anticyclonic Eddy From a Laboratory Experiment

Strain Evolution and Instability of an Anticyclonic Eddy From a Laboratory Experiment

Using the 13 m diameter LEGI-Coriolis rotating platform, the evolution processes of a generated anticyclonic eddy throughout its lifecycle are analyzed. Experimental results have shown that the eddy lasted for approximately 3T0, where T0 is the rotating period of 90 s. After T = 0.3T0, the eddy ente...
